State leaders speak out about plans to expand the Islamic Academy of Alabama

[essentialsaltes]

Plans proposed by the K-12 school were denied by a Hoover zoning commission.

In a statement, the Academy said objections to their plan were “…unrelated to zoning criteria and instead reflected harmful stereotypes and conspiracy theories about Muslims and Islamic institutions.”

[Article provides ample evidence of the harmful stereotypes and conspiracy theories]

“We really just don’t have a place for such here,” said Rep. Butler. “Where you’re screaming ‘kill the infidel, death to America.’ That’s just not welcome here. There are plenty of Muslim countries that would welcome that.”

“What they’re doing is going against our Constitution,” said Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) in an interview with Breanna Morella on Infowars, speaking out against the Academy. “I mean, you can’t preach hate, you can’t preach death. ‘Kill all infidels. Kill all Christians.’ You can’t do that.”

We have an actual US Senator interviewing on Infowars???

No wonder this country is in such a muddle. People with real power having no sense of whats real. I guess thats what we get when enough of the voters are similarly afflicted.

(Im "holding space" for the possibility this didnt even happen. Its almost too absurd.)

Hey he has a BS in physical education. I looked it up. Tho this is America where coach > teacher.

Plus you dont need a degree to have your head screwed on properly.

Just a reminder.....Who really preaches hate and death?
Let us reason please!

Quote fron Donakd Trump:
"They contribute nothing. I don't want them in our country. I'll be honest with you... We're going to go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country. Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage. These aren't people that work. These aren't people that say, let's go. Come on, let's make this place great."

Quote from Donald Trump
"I don't know if you call them people. In some cases, they're not people, in my opinion.They're not people, these are animals."

Many of us contribute, either directly or indirectly, to supporting Christian missionary work around the world, including in countries with a Muslim majority. Christian missionaries establish schools and hospitals in rural areas of these regions, providing assistance to local communities while also sharing Gospel. .

Consider how difficult it is for Christian missionaries in Muslim countries when local newspapers run stories like this about the USA.

I certainly consider that the US is not a theocracy, and this kind of bigoted baloney should not have a place in our government.

I think many people are misinformed on Islam. Not on purpose. Most Muslims are peaceful people.

The people doing the misinforming are definitely doing it on purpose.
